Re: Weird ORA-00060 (deadlock) with pragma autonomous

2003-09-09 Thread James Howerton
What version are you on???

There is a bug in 9.2.0.3, I was getting this error regularly on my
rman repository db when an rman resync was run. I've patched to 9.2.0.4
and the error has gone away.

...JIM...

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9/8/03 11:09:27 PM 
We are getting a strange deadlock problem and I am having trouble
understanding the cause and action. Metalink has not been too useful
for
this one.

We have a procedure eg INS_REC that does an insert into table ABC. The
procedure uses a pragma autonomous transaction.

We have a package eg DO_SET_OF_WORK that selects from several tables
and
then based on the information selected will call the above procedure,
along
with several other procedures that will do inserts or deletes (on
DIFFERENT
tables).

The package does opens a cursor to process all records selected.

When we use pragma autonomous transaction AND commit in the
procedure
called, the package dies with an ORA-0060. When the pragma autonomous
transaction is removed from the procedure, the package does not get a
deadlock.

There is only ONE user using this set of tables (in a separate schema
from
other users on the system) at the time this is occuring.

I am puzzled. Another DBA suggested this may be related to FREELISTS,
so I
increased them for both the table and indexes that were being reported
as
deadlocking but it did not make any difference.

Anyone have any other suggestions ?

Thanks
Babette

RE: Oracle position on hints 9.2.0.X

2003-03-11 Thread James Howerton
After spending 2 ½  days trying hints, init parameters, re-writing the query, a 
completely useless TAR, etc. 
to get a query that runs in  1 second on 8.1.6.X to go faster than 1 minute on 
9.2.0.2 
I found a new to 9.2.0.X dynamic init parameter  optimizer_dynamic_sampling, if I 
understand it correctly this parameter forces the optimizer to try harder to get an 
efficient execution plan. Check the FM there are some interesting things that each 
level causes the optimizer to do. 

The default is optimizer_dynamic_sampling=1 I've tried  optimizer_dynamic_sampling = 5 
 7. The query in question has several joins  across database links. In 8.1.6 the 
10046 trace shows 68 I/O's to the remote database in 9.2.0.2 with 
optimizer_dynamic_sampling =1 10046 shows 1.4 million I/O's to the remote database. 
With optimizer_dynamic_sampling = 5 the I/O's are back to 68. 

Check this parameter it saved us from re-writing a bunch of sql...

Hi,

We recently upgraded from 7.3.4 to 8.7 (management plans on getting to that Y2K 
problem shortly  ;-)  We had an SQL statement that really needed a hint in 7.3.4. 
After upgrading to 8.7, I removed the hint and it runs much faster without it. I spend 
some of my spare time testing SQL with hints removed now.

Jim,

   If you have a look in oraus.msg (the primary source of information
for error messages) you will find the following :

/ 11000 - 11999 Reserved for mvs sql*net errors 

LU 6.2 strikes again ? 

I guess that you must be accessing ADT_HRZ through a database link in
your trigger. You should have some specific documentation for MVS /
SQL*Net somewhere, the error message is likely to be explained into
it.
You may also find some useful information in sqlnet.log files you may
collect here and there.

If the ip address/hostname are not identical on the new box it won't

The only differences between the boxes are the IP and the 'name

RE: rman fun :), nightmare and long

2002-10-04 Thread James Howerton

On all of my 8.1.7 and below DB's I do a controlfile backup after the level backup and 
archivelog all delete input is finished. I had problems cloning a database because 
RMAN back's up the controlfile first and then does the level backup etc.

...JIM...

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/4/02 8:53:27 AM 
The controlfile gets backed up automatically when you do a RMAN full backup.
I have been having  a debate this morning regarding a situation where we do
weekly full backups using RMAN and and a daily RMAN archivelog all delete
input.

I contend we should do a archivelog all delete input INCLUDING
controlfile. My colleague states that this is only of value for when all
controlfiles are lost. (which we both agree is highly unlikely but
possible).

I am asured that if we had no controlfile available we could restore
controlfile and it would go back to the copy it has which could be 1 week
old and then roll forward (after calling restore database). RMAN would apply
any changes necessary (of which there would be none in this scenario) and
create an updated copy of the current controlfile)

So Joe, you only needed a copy of the control file because of the scenario
you were running and you would not need to take a specific copy in the
normal run of events? Is my understanding correct?. I know that no
recovery/DR scenario can be considered normal but I am particularly
interested if any situation where we need to recover from the last backup
either a full database to a SCN or point in time or recover a single
datafile
Thanks
John

Connor, my problem(fault) was I didnt make a copy of the control

right?).

I have to upgrade an 8.1.6.2 DB on Solaris this weekend (so much for a three day 
weekend). Is there any reason not to go to 8.1.7.4??? Is 8.1.7.3 less buggy, etc??? I 
hope to upgrade this DB to 9.2.0.1 as soon as the app vendor ok's it, thanks to our 
Oracle friends we can't go direct from 8.1.6.x to 9.2.0.1...

I am trying to perform an RMAN disaster recovery task. While I use an
RMAN
catalog to make backups, I am trying to recover using just the control
file
information.
Oracle 8.1.6, Compaq/HP Tru64

I start RMAN with 
 rman target sys/password nocatalog
then,
 startup mount

run {
set until time to_date('08/11/2002 01:00:00','MM/DD/
HH24:MI:SS');
allocate channel d1 type disk;
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
}

Everything appears normal for awhile. In the alert log RMAN tries to
find
each file, doesn't find them. Then it successfully recovers 5 data
files
(including system and rollback) and reports success in the alert log.
Then .
. . nothing for hours. RMAN doesn't return an error. The RMAN shadow
processes are still present but with no CPU consumption. Nothing is
written
to the alert log. 
 I check V$SESSION_WAIT, and the only entry for the RMAN shadow
processes is one is SQL*Net message to client with seconds_in_wait =
0,
state = waited unknown time. 
 In V$SYSTEM_EVENT, time_waited and average_wait are zero for all
events. The following events have values of total_waits that are
increasing:
   Increase in total_waits in
10-minutes
   rdbms ipc message   401
   pmon timer   57
   control file parallel write  56
   SQL*Net message to client24
   SQL*Net message from client  24
   virtual circuit status5
   dispatch timer3
   smon timer1

Archiving is turned off.

I have attempted this recovery many times using different RMAN backup
sets,
but the system always hangs at this point.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is just a wild guess and I'm probably wrong but I saw in you're

Okay, I implemented everyone's comments and re-executed the RMAN
recovery.
Here is what I did and the results.

1. Action: Removed alter database open resetlogs from the run
statement.
   Result: No change.

2. Action: Added trace=1 to the allocate channel command.
   Result: No trace file is produced in udump.

3. Action: Reviewed Note 145624.1
   Result: Did not see the solution to my problem. Most of the
suggestions
seem appropriate to backup rather than recovery jobs.

4. Action: Added log and debug trace statements to rman invocation
line.
   Result: Produced log and trace file. The trace file at the point of
the
recovery hang contains the following:

Re: {9i New Features: Joins}

2002-07-15 Thread James Howerton

All,

Here is a sample of 9i new features.  You all should have a user on
DBA9 (moray.hs.uab.edu) to try this out, if not let me know.

...JIM...

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/15/02 10:48:28 AM 
Welcome to the latest installment of 9i new features.  This will not be
all exhaustive but just a sample.

Here is the table scripts to build the data for testing purposes.

drop table dept;
drop table emp;


create table dept
( dept_id varchar2(5) not null,
  dept_name varchar2(50) not null);

alter table dept add constraint dept_pk
  primary key(dept_id);

create table emp
( emp_id number(5) not null,
  emp_name varchar2(50) not null,
  dept_id varchar2(5) null);

alter table emp add constraint emp_pk
  primary key(emp_id);


insert into dept values ('HR','Catbert');
insert into dept values ('PAY','Payroll');
insert into dept values ('IT','Computer Geeks');
insert into dept values ('MANAG','PHB');
insert into dept values ('EXECU','Big Cheeses');
insert into dept values ('SECRE','Secretary Pool');
insert into dept values ('DBAS','Database Admins');
insert into dept values ('SLIME','Slimy Induhviduals');
insert into dept values ('NWORK','Always Blame On');
insert into dept values ('DUH','No Clue People');


insert into emp values(10,'Bubba Jones','EXECU');
insert into emp values(11,'Honcho Man','EXECU');
insert into emp values(12,'Junior','NWORK');
insert into emp values(13,'Help Desk','NWORK');
insert into emp values(14,'Ima Dumb','DUH');
insert into emp values(15,'Dont Be','DUH');
insert into emp values(16,'Bosses Aid','SECRE');
insert into emp values(17,'Doy Doofus','MANAG');
insert into emp values(18,'Keep em Running','DBAS');
insert into emp values(19,'Look at me','SLIME');
insert into emp values(20,'HR Troop','HR');
insert into emp values(21,'Big Pain','USERS');


Ok now we have some test data, lets look at the various joins.

In the old days(and we're NOT going to talk about sub queries), we
really only had equi-joins and a single outer join.

Now we have:

1.  Natural join: This is a join between 2 or more tables where the
columns names match between the tables, like in our table, the dept_id
column is the same name between the dept_name AND the same datatype.

OLD:  select emp_id, emp_name, dept_name
  from dept, emp
  where  dept.dept_id = emp.dept_id;

NEW:  select emp_id, emp_name, dept_name
  from emp natural join dept;



Notice the results we get 11 rows but we have 12 rows in emp.  A
natural join is an equi-join where you DON'T have to put the join
condition
in the where clause.

There is a bit more to this one, check the using clause also, hint
its used if the column names match but maybe the data types don't, etc.
  


2.  Cross join:  Your and my favorite, also known as a cartesian join.

OLD:  select emp_id, emp_name, dept_name
  from dept, emp;

NEW:  select emp_id, emp_name, dept_name
  from dept cross join emp;


Useful?, I think thats up for debate :)



3.  Outer join:  This is where you join two tables and want to see all
of the rows even if there is NO match.  You could outer join to the left
or right but not both at the same time.  Now you can do left or right
outer and even full outer, examples follow:

Left:  We want to see all employees even if they dont belong to a
dept.


OLD:  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp, dept
  where dept.dept_id(+) = emp.dept_id
  order by emp_id;

NEW:  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp left outer join dept
  on (emp.dept_id = dept.dept_id)
  order by emp.emp_id;




Right: We want to see all depts even if they dont have employees.

OLD:  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp, dept
  where dept.dept_id = emp.dept_id(+)
  order by emp_id;


NEW:  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp right outer join dept
  on (dept.dept_id = emp.dept_id)
  order by emp.emp_id;



Full:  We want to see all emps with or without being assigned to a dept
and all depts with or without employees.


OLD: No such single statement quewry exists, you had to do it via 2
queries
and a union statement like this:

  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp, dept
  where dept.dept_id = emp.dept_id(+)
  union
  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp, dept
  where dept.dept_id(+) = emp.dept_id;

NEW:  select dept.dept_id, dept.dept_name, emp.emp_id
  from emp full outer join dept
  on (emp.dept_id = dept.dept_id)
  order by emp.emp_id;

Re: disk subsystem performance question

2002-04-10 Thread James Howerton

John,

We have the Hitachi 5800 series with RAID 5. The sales guys also said
their system is
s fast we need not worry about such minor details. Don't believe
them!!! Write speed is SLOW. After we added bare drives for redo log
files, archive logs,  conrtol files it made a dramatic difference in DB
performance. Hitachi  some Sa's don't want to set up RAID 1+0 because
it makes more work for them than a RAID 5 install.

HTH
...JIM... 

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/10/02 10:38:26 AM 
Hi all,

We are running both a Hitachi 7700E and a 9960 disk subsystem here and
we
are getting ready to move our production DBs from the old(7700E) to
the
new(9960) Hitachi.  We have had trouble in the past on the 7700E
due to
disk contention and layout, i.e. we weren't striped across the array
groups
very well this caused pretty poor I/O performance.This has
been
a learning experience for the DBAs and the SAs here for the logical
vs.
physical aspects of our disks.  Anyway, to make a long story short,
we
are ordering disk for the move to the 9960 and we have 2 choices in
disk
sizes - 18GB and 73GB, and 2 choices in RAID - 1+0 and 5. I would
like
to get the smaller, faster 18GB drives in a RAID 1+0 configuration and
stripe our data across the array groups as wide as possible.
However, I
am running into objections from the Hitachi people that their system
is
s fast we need not worry about such minor details.   I'm having
a
hard time believing that given our I/O problems on the 7700E. 
Performance
is given a high priority here.

What I would like to know is others' experience with disk subsystems -
specifically Hitachi but EMC and others as well   have you been
able to
throw the disk in and forget it or have you had success in getting to
the
dirty details?  Have you tested or noticed an improvement with
smaller,
faster drives in a disk subsystem like the Hitachi or have you
traveled
that path and found no noticeable improvement?  I'm looking for
either
a) ammunition that my view is correct, or b) I'm wrong and we can get
bigger drives which will make Enterprise Planning very happy from a
$$$
standpoint because our Hitachi capacity will last longer.

We are running Oracle 8.1.7 / AIX 4.3.3 / Peoplesoft Financials version
8.
2 production databases , one 400 GB and the other about 1TB. We've
got
some other production DBs but these are our big guys.

Thanks in advance for any and all input - any help is greatly
appreciated.
I'd be happy to share any info we have found up to this point and our
experiences on the 7700E as well if anyone is interested - despite the
fact
I will probably bore you to death   :-)

I agree with Ethan. 

1. Please give some good examples for working the various storage

time trying to get the transport layer working properly. 
2. Cloning (I can share the scripts I've used) again I had a lot of

3. Anything to enhance business continuity, disaster recovery

Re: Oracle Hungry for Money

Scott,

We also have a higher ed site liscense, isn't partitioning included in
the Enterprise Edition???

...JIM...

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/13/02 1:02:33 PM 
Watch out!  I just got off the phone with our Oracle sales rep.  He
was asking me if I needed information on Partitioning or OLAP for our
data warehouse project.  I told him that we are on 8.1.7, so the OLAP
option isn't available.  To keep him from going into a long speil on
Partitioning, I told him that I have already implemented that, which
is
true.
He jumped on that and told me that we aren't licensed for it.  He
followed up with sending me a quote for $23,800 to cover the fact that
we are using the option, which we didn't pay for.  I was always told
that we have a site license (higher ed), and he said that our
license
was purchased prior to Partioning being available, so that doesn't
count.

I'm telling everyone about this as a heads-up.  It appears that Oracle
is digging for money, and I feel that the approach that was used was
done to trick me into admitting that I had implemented the feature.

 Hi,
 
 I have just given my oracle 9i upgrade exam. I was
 wondering which certification is best for me next -
 Sun Solaris administration or JAVA certification ?
 I have a 6+ years of Oracle, 4 years of Solaris
 experience and 6 months JAVA experience.
 
 What do the Oracle gurus at this list think ? Which
 is
 better - Sun Solaris administration or JAVA
 certification ?
 
 Thanks
 Jason

9iAS and iPlanet LDAP

2002-02-05 Thread James Howerton

DBA's

1. Has anyone been able to get 9iAS Apache and/or Portal to work with
the iPlanet LDAP sever. I tried following the December 2000 Configuring
Oracle 9iAS Portal for LDAP Authentication white paper. No luck. Opened
a TAR they suggested I use Oracle's LDAP  sync it with iPlanet. We
don't want to maintain several separate LDAP's unless there is no other
way. Re-linking Apache with mod_auth_ldap is not supported???

2. Is there a 9iAS listserv similar to this list?

TIA

done
as follows:

Re: relink SGI 64 bit Oracle 8.1.7 Veritas Netbackup

2001-12-13 Thread James Howerton

Thanks Cherie,

I've done a lot of searching on Veritas's web site. I think I found the
section you mentioned, it doesn't show anything for 8.1.7. I called
Veritas sales and they said there wasn't a different client for 64bit,
but today I found a patch for V3.4 64 bit, so much for sales knowing
what they are selling. We unfortunately purchased Netbackup from Sun and
get our maintenance  through them, MAJOR WASTE OF TIME. The Sun help
desk can't even spell Netbackup. I'll just keep lobbying for direct
maint.

Thanks again

The frustrated DBA

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/13/01 3:05:26 PM 

James,

Have you tried Veritas's web site?
It's at http://support.veritas.com/menu_ddProduct_NETBACKUP.htm 

Click on advanced search under Knowledge Base in the
middle right part of the page.

Search on the error message that you get.   Try all the error numbers
by themselves.   You should get a hit that way.

I was able to find a very nice article in their Knowledge Base showing
how to do the relink libobk.They had a section for 32-bit as well
as
a section for 64-bit.   I can't put my hands on the hard copy I had
right
now
but it might turn up.   Email me if you fail to find the article on
their
website.

I have had very little success in troubleshooting RMAN errors related
to
Veritas via Oracle and/or Metalink.   I have had pretty good support
from
Veritas, though.   If nothing else, get their support phone number off
of
their
web site and call their support direct.   Their people can be a bit
spotty
but
most of the time I've spoken with someone very good.

Re: event= to capture deadlock debug info

2001-10-22 Thread James Howerton

Hi Deepak,

Thanks for the info. The situation may not be a deadlock. I checked the alert log, no 
entries when the lock occured. Also no trace file was generated. On Friday we were 
unable to simulate the lock condition (proved the database was pretty indestructable). 
At this point I'm not sure what may have caused the situation. I guess I'll have to 
wait until it happens again and get the users to wait until I can gather more info 
befor I fix it.

...JIM... 

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/19/01 1:02:35 PM 
Hi James,

setting an event at init/session level would basically
dump the error state into an trc file. ora-60 or
deadlock by defualt writes a message in alert file and
also dumps a large trace in udump.

so why do you want to explicitly set this event? The
default behaviour mimicks the same anyways.

Hi,

if you setup a group of disks as a RAID5 disk array, they appear as one
logical unit. Hence, you only see one single mount point. Advantages:
Read access is usually faster, since the data is transparantly
distributed to your disks by the RAID system. It's another step towards
higher availability since RAID5 usually gives you the feature of
replacing a damaged disk while the file system keeps operating.
Disadvantage: You don't have that much control over the degree of
fragmentation since the data distribution is done by the RAID system.

RE: iAS installation update

2001-06-07 Thread James Howerton
 am installing based on the iAS installation manual.

 Hopefully that will work.

 /begin rant
 I still wish the Oracle techs could have told me which versions of the
 various products are concurrent, they just keep insisting that all their
 products are certified to work together.  All I wanted to know was which
 oracle_home type do the various products use?  Forms and Reports 6i
requires
 an 8.0.6. home, Developer6 used an 8.0.5 home, etc. the Metalink techs do
 not appear to have a list, they didn't understand my question.  When I
 logged a TAR on this I received three e-mails telling me that my TAR had
 been passed to different people, in the end the last tech told me that
 products sometimes are released together, but that it is not all that
 important, because everything is certified to work together.

 I can't shake the feeling that iAS is a bundle of things that were just
 slapped together.  Seeing the old installer pop up during the installation
 doesn't help remove that impression.  Hopefully when the next release
comes
 out it will install in something other than an (old) Oracle 8.0.6.
 oracle_home.  Since it's called Oracle9i iAS, maybe the Forms and Reports
 Servers will go into a 9i oracle_home (?).
 /end rant

 (this is my impression, not my employer's etc. etc.)

 Sorry if this comes across as a little harsh.

can't fing basic things like patches, no response on an iTAR for two or three days

 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3/28/01 7:15:22 AM 
Have any of you received one of those lately?

I remember last year they used to check with us to see whether we were happy
with the service, but I have received nothing in a long time.

Someone soft closed one of my TARs, saying he had sent me the information I
requested, but I can't find anything in my e-mail folders re. that TAR.

I got the notices telling me the TAR has been updated, but I didn't receive
the information the tech says he sent me -- at least I can't find it
anywhere.

My question was re. how we can secure the OEM, i.e. how to ensure that the
OEM the DBAs use will be the only one in use to access our databases.
What's to stop a developer or an end user from downloading the OEM for free,
then using it to send jobs to the databases using the intelligent agents?
Nothing, as far as I can see, if we go with the default configurations.

I would very much like to see the guidelines I requested re. securing the
OEM...

I updated the TAR myself, maybe they will "un-soft-close" it.  

There is someone from Oracle development group on the ODTUG listserv, I sure
wish there was someone from customer support or from the Oracle engineers
group on this listserv.

Can anyone give me some tips on installing/configuring pro*c on AIX/8.1.6. I've looked 
at the install manual, technet, metalink, etc???

You could up your buffer size and also use impst.

DBA's,

Does anyone have any tips for speeding up the import of a 10gb table with a
long_raw datatype. I've disabled the constraints, dropped the indexes,  put
the database in noarchivelog mode. 

My import parameters are:

file=/TEMP_MOUNT/imp_cflo/cfuabprd_blob.dmp 
log=cfuabprd_blob.log 
fromuser=x 
touser=xx 
tables=REPORT_BLOBT 
indexes=N 
rows=Y 
constraints=N 
feedback=1000 
buffer=200 
ignore=Y 
commit=Y

Hardware: Sun E10K 4cpu's 3gb ram
OS: solaris2.6
Oracle:8.1.6.2.1

TIA

...JIM...
